iPhone charge lasts all day, not a few hours.
And the Nokia NGage was dead on arrival due to the lack of user accessibility and horrible design. Hidden card slot? Card distributed games? Requiring users to hold the phone on its edge while speaking?
The iPhone is already a huge success story by contrast.
Sometimes I wonder if people actually have any extensive experience with some of the things they want to have a valid opinion of.
Nintendo should stick to games, not attempt to break into PDAs or smartphones. They are a gaming company.
Considering that the DSi already costs $170, I really don't see how anyone could think it would be a good idea for them to develop a more expensive device with greater functionality that would also require a subscription carrier service.
Unless Nintendo wanted to market their phone for the Side Kick, young adult market, they really wouldn't have much of an audience in the typical hand held console demographic (younger children) for the same reason why the iPhone isn't taking away any of Nintendo's core portable gaming base.
It's a Nintendo fan pipe dream basically. If any other company was poised to release a smart phone, it's Microsoft, not Nintendo.
